Didn't Leeds refuse him saying he didn't look like he'd make a rugby player.

I read an article I think by Phil Caplin who apparently said this is a myth and in fact Beven never had a trial or asked for a trail at Leeds.

I've probably still got them on VHS somewhere but just like the rest of my tapes/discs they'll spend their remaining days gathering dust scattered around the house.

Roberts got me thinking. I wonder if the 'barmies' would be so keen to sing certain songs if he'd played?

Peter Sterling had a two year contract signed with us in the late eighties but injuries prevented him fulfilling it. What a pleasure it would have been to see Sterlo in blue and amber!

I once had a conversation with frank stanton , he told me he had verbaly agreed to join leeds when bamford got the GB job and had sterling tied up, Leeds the decided to go with peter fox, the rest is history, a bad chapter in leeds history!!! at least they stayed up on points diff.

You want to be careful, you don't want to come across as peurile and meaningless as that Craigloiner. People will be comparing you to him if, and I can't think of anything worse.

Just friendly advice as you seem like a good...well...egg.
